Bookroo's summary

Nancy Drew embarks on a thrilling quest when a former queen, living in disguise, seeks her help to find a missing grandson. Armed with only a faded childhood photo, Nancy dives into a world of secrets and deception. As she unravels the mystery, she encounters a cunning imposter and faces the challenge of reuniting a fractured family. Will Nancy's detective skills be enough to uncover the truth and restore a royal legacy? Dive into this suspense-filled adventure where every clue counts and nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

An antique dealer’s revelation about a former queen’s priceless heirloom starts Nancy on a trail of exciting adventures. Madame Alexandra, now living incognito in River Heights, asks Nancy to find her missing grandson. With only one clue to go on - a faded photograph of the prince at the age of four - the young detective begins her search. Nancy’s investigation unmasks a slick imposter and reunites the long-separated family in this suspense-filled story.
